World Can't Wait is organizing people living in the United States to take responsibility to stop the whole disastrous course led by the Bush administration. We seek to create a political situation where the Bush administration's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking U.S. society is reversed.

We seek to mobilize millions to express their outrage, to speak the truth, to act with urgency and form an organized political resistance. We welcome any individuals and groups who agree that the Bush Regime should be driven out, whatever their political party affiliation or lack thereof. We reach out to people who have been fooled by Bush, and to those who have been most seriously affected by the outrages inflicted by the Bush Regime.

Jill McLaughlin

Jill McLaughlin is an art therapist working in a psychiatric inpatient setting on Chicago's northside, providing treatment to adults with dual diagnoses. From a young age, Jill was drawn to people and events in history involving issues of social justice and human rights. One memory Jill has is leading a protest in her nieghborhood with 3 others girls demanding women's rights...particularly that women be allowed to be priests (that whole Catholic thing). She struggled with her sexual orientation in her teen years and eventually freed herself by coming out as a lesbian. From that point she aspired to be an LGBT activist and began that journey as an undergrad and at one point served as co-president of the LGBT student group. Watching the nightmare of the Bush Regime unfold and at the suggestion of a friend and the urging of her conscience she decided to act once again. In July 2006 she found and joined World Can't Wait, whose Call to drive out the Bush Regime resonated with what she had been thinking and feeling.

Debra Sweet, National Director

Debra Sweet is the National Director of World Can't Wait. Richard Nixon refused to speak to the press for six months after the US invasion of Cambodia. When he finally appeared before the White House press corps, it was to make awards for service and bravery to Young Americans, whom he said were "not out protesting". I was 19. When he handed me the award, I told him that he was responsible for killing millions of people in southeast Asia. He got angry, turned and left the room, making a front page story and international news. Antiwar sentiment had seeped into the Blue Room and was pervading every part of US society - not to mention the world. The Emperor had no clothes, and when someone says that; an Eartha Kitt, a Debra Sweet, a Cindy Sheehan, it can galvanize others to speak and act on the truth. There are millions out there who can take inspiration, and act. The end of the story isn't written yet...Click here for a collection of the writings and speeches of Debra Sweet.

Don’t stop… Don’t conciliate... Don’t accommodate... Don’t collaborate... and donate as much as you can to World Can't Wait.
